HI-CHEW® Collaborates with Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt

— June 5, 2025 — Marketing
The collaboration between HI-CHEW® and Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt introduces a limited-edition Blue Hawaii Tropical Candy flavor. The launch aligns with National Candy Month and provides sweet-toothed consumers with a refreshing summer treat.

The limited-edition Blue Hawaii Tropical Candy flavor builds on the popularity of HI-CHEW’s Fantasy Mix — specifically the Blue Hawaii variant, which originally debuted in 2022 and gained a following for its vibrant blend of citrus and pineapple flavors. The frozen yogurt version aims to replicate that tropical taste while maintaining a nonfat formula free from artificial colors, flavors, and high fructose corn syrup.

Teruhiro Kawabe (Terry), Chief Representative for the USA & President, CEO of Morinaga America, Inc., shared about the collaboration with the frozen yogurt brand: "Teaming up with Menchie's allows us to meet brand fans where their cravings are, at the intersection of bold flavor and fun experiences. The launch of the HI-CHEW® Blue Hawaii Tropical Candy flavor is a perfect example of how HI-CHEW® continues to innovate and surprise our fans in unexpected and delightful ways."
